NHTD/TBI Program
The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Waiver Program is one of the options available to New Yorkers with disabilities and seniors 65 and older, so they may receive services in the community rather than in Nursing Home. The NHTD program is targeted at individuals either already in nursing homes and wanting to return to their community or those being considered for nursing home placement but who would prefer to avoid institutional care and remain in their own homes.
The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver program services individuals with brain injury between ages 18-65. The program aims to help people with a TBI live in the community setting of their choice.
